Thatâs almost half of all Americans who have ever died during wartime, and more than a hundred times more than died during the American Revolution, according to the latest estimates from the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Coca-Cola (KO) owns Dasani and PepsiCo (PEP) owns the Aquafina line of bottled water. But they are running into a problem -- selling bottled water isn't very profitable, and there is a deeply competitive market responding quickly to shifting consumer tastes.
Last week, Pepsi agreed to change the labels of Aquafina to indicate the water comes from a public water source. Pepsi agreed to change its label under pressure from the advocacy group Corporate Accountability International, which has been leading an increasingly successful campaign against bottled water.
